She Did It Again!

I met up with Nancy, my friend and longarm quilter extraordinaire on Wednesday of last week, at which time she returned my string quilt. What a job she did on this one, folks!

I finished the binding on Friday and here it is…

The free motion quilting is both amazing and stunning.

It looked so good on our kitchen table early yesterday morning with the sun shining in. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, look out the patio doors and you can see Mac, our Westie, sunning himself on the desk, watching the world go by.

A closer look…

Thanks again, Nancy. You are the greatest!

And we haven’t spilled anything on it yet because yesterday was our 29th anniversary and we went out for a wonderful brunch to celebrate.

ooooh! very pretty. it screams scrappy - my absolute favourite look. yeah, i think she's a keeper, that nancy gal. *wink*. i have rob's quilt on our kitchen table and like yours, a scrappy quilt on a wood table looks just right.and look at that dear little man out on the deck. i bet he is lapping up that gorgeous sunshine after all that cold snow.xox

That is down right gorgeous , love it and it sure makes me want to get started at a string quilt, I have been collecting strips but no sewing on them yet , You have inspired me to get my act together . The quilting is very well done!!

Kaaren....that quilt is beautiful, your choice of fabrics is perfect and the quilting just set it off.I also spy that cute lamp made from a huge wood spool. How neat is that!Have a good week.Linda/simplycountryseasons

That is outstanding I do love it so very beautiful. It is so nice to have such great long arm quilters that shocase our work so beautifully. Nice that you copyrighted everything I have to do that too. It is nice to inspire someone but when they copy us it hurts.

Firs... Happy Anniversary.. secondly... I love your quilt... and at last... LOVE the quilting... it looks soo beautiful lying in the sun and sunbathing...:o) and I guess Mac is happy about the sun too...;o)

Your quilt turned out just lovely :o) And my Westie, Dixie, loves to sunbathe on the deck! She does it all spring and summer long. She comes in to cool down a bit, get a drink and then woofs at the door to resume her bathing :o)

I ♥ my friends
